Screening ADHD Kids with EKGs
http://drwes.blogspot.com/ 2008/ 04/ screening-adhd-kids-with-ekgs.html
Boy, it didn't take long for UVa Hospital to hop on the EKG bandwagon for kids with Attention Deficit, Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) after the AHA released their recommendations for EKG screening in kids on stimulant medications based on retrospective literature review and gut feelings. Sheesh. I think Dr. Rob had the appropriate amount of skepticism here. Although I know and respect many of the doctors who were tasked with making the best recommendation they could with little data on the subject, the AHA does a huge disservice to the doctor-specialists' credibility when they cozy up to the pharmaceutical companies with "roundtables" prior to such proclamations.
